5 ways WWE can use Tyson Kidd going forward
Tyson Kidd, one of the most underrated wrestlers in modern WWE, appears to have wrestled the final match of his career. It has been reported that Kidd’s in-ring career has come to a close, as the injury that he sustained following a botched Muscle Buster has forced him to retire from in-ring competition.
This is an incredibly unfortunate set of circumstances. Kidd had a huge passion for wrestling, and despite some questionable use and booking over the years, he always maintained a positive attitude.
Though he didn’t accomplish much in WWE, he’s still widely regarded as a great wrestler, and his contributions to WWE have been nonetheless noteworthy. It would be a shame for him to simply leave WWE forever and to close his wrestling career on such a sour note.
To that end, this shouldn’t be the end of Kidd’s tenure with WWE.
But even if he does not wrestle, there may be a way for WWE to use him. WWE’s decision-makers were the ones that, in one way or another, led to Kidd suffering this career-ending injury. To that end, the only morally acceptable thing for them to do would be to find a way to make things right for Tyson Kidd. They could go down the easy road and just give him a large sum of money so that he’d be set for life. Or, they could go down the reprehensible path and sweep this problem under the rug in the hopes that everyone forgets about it.
Instead, here are five things WWE can do with Tyson Kidd that doesn’t involve him entering the squared circle.
#5 An Ambassador
One of the things Tyson could do is become a WWE Ambassador. This would be the role of a spokesperson for the company, and he would basically go around promoting the WWE brand whenever and wherever he could.
This would be an easy role for Kidd to fill because it wouldn’t require much physical work outside of travelling. Depending on how well he heals and what his doctors advice, he could find himself in this position if he’s medically cleared to travel.
The only drawback to being a public spokesperson for WWE would be that, no matter what he’d do to promote the brand, attention would shift to his own injury almost immediately. Pundits and critics would ask him about WWE’s violence and danger, which would make it much harder for him to sell the brand, considering he’s a walking example of a wrestling move gone horribly wrong.
